Kinetix Inspired Fitness - 6561 102nd Ave N, Pinellas Park, FL 33782The self-defense system we offer is simple to learn and highly effective. It focuses on basic defensive techniques that are easy to remember and retain. In this class, you'll learn how to recognize pre-contact cues, manage your distance, defensive framing, and to defend yourself against punches, chokes, grabs, and strikes.
The Weapon Brand self-defense system is the brainchild of Brian Anderson-Needham, who created the program and taught it for over 20 years, specifically for law enforcement, parole, and corrections agencies in Ohio. The success of the program has been recognized by other state agencies, who continue to purchase it for the training of their own use.
It combines the most effective techniques from nine different martial arts styles, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, and more. Unlike flashy Instagram videos that may not be practical or accessible in real-life situations, we teach simple yet effective techniques that you can learn and use to defend yourself within just two hours. Our goal is to empower you to become your own weapon and take action to protect yourself in any situation. -
Even though Florida is now an open carry state, taking Firearm Safety and Fundamentals + CCW training ensures you are properly trained to carry responsibly, meet concealed carry requirements, travel legally across states, and stay safe in high-risk situations.

Kinetix Inspired Fitness - 6561 102nd Ave N, Pinellas Park, FL 33782This isn’t a workout. It’s a wake-up call—and one of our most critical self-defense courses.

Our approach is simple, effective, and built for real life—not choreographed martial arts. Whether you're grabbed from behind, pinned, or dragged, you'll learn how to create space, fight back, and take control of the outcome.
Led by expert instructors, this class covers:
Escapes from front and rear chokes, bear hugs, and wrist grabs
Defensive striking to stun and disable your attacker
How to use leverage, positioning, and mindset to your advantage
Drills that build muscle memory and instinctual responses
No prior training? No problem. This class is designed for all experience levels, and everything we teach is easy to learn, easy to remember, and proven to work under pressure.
Don’t wait for the worst to happen—train now to stop it before it does.
Be Your OWN Weapon.
